Spell Bee Word: Princess


What does princess mean?

Word: Princess

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: Princess means the daughter of a king or queen, or a woman who marries into a royal family.

How do you spell princess?

Syllables: prin - cess

Tricky part: The middle 's' sound is written with a c, and the word ends with a double s. With only one s at the end it would be a different word.

Watch out for: prinsess, princesse, prinses

Memory tip: The c in princess is soft, as in city and circle: prin-cess.
